The Tonic Triad of C sharp Major

A triad is constructed of the first, third and fifth notes of the major scale


C sharp major

1. Understand the Theory


  • A key signature is the sharp signs next to the clef. In this case we have F sharp, C sharp, G sharp, D sharp, A sharp, E sharp & B sharp (played as the note C) . If you need help here please see the key signatures blog.

  • The tonic triad is the 1st , 3rd and 5th note of the scale.

  • When there is no key signature this triad requires an sharp sign in front of the C, E and G to make an C sharp, E sharp and a G sharp.
